Just not funny. None of the jokes landed. Not sure what's more to blame: the writing, the editing, the directing, or the acting. But pretty sure if the writing was good, there'd at least be a chuckle in there somewhere.

This time he stars in the series loosely based on the adventures of a gentleman landowner who leaves his family and wealth to become a pirate in the 1700s. Darby bumbles about continuously, ranting with pomposity but never being funny. The supporting cast is filled with potentially comic types, but none of them goes far enough. Taika Waititi is co-creator (and plays Blackbeard), but his skills with left-field humor can't rescue this. Even Leslie Jones, who can be hilarious with a look, is just dull. The pace never lags and everyone is doing their best to amuse, but the lack of witty writing simply sinks the series. (Review based on the first 3 episodes. The final 3 released 3/10.) Expand

I was very disappointed. I heard this movie was ALL about ghay stuff, sadly it was not ghay enough. No where near a ghay pride parade levels ghayness. Lame. Derivative. Banal.

Wobbly slash fiction with borrowed elements from "What We Do In the Shadows" and "Pirates of the Caribbean."
